Looks great, Jon.

Lesson Plan(s)
I want to share this lesson because when I taught it, it really made sense to me. It is a combination of Chemistry and Physics and relates to kids everyday life in some way. The students really enjoyed it and actually learned a lot about the topic. The lesson is on Light as a Wave and talks about the Electromagnetic spectrum. Check it out!

A. Light as a Wave

B. · TSWBAT identify and understand how light acts as a wave · TSWBAT label all the parts of the wave (amplitude, wavelength, crest trough, frequency) · TSWBAT solve problems using speed, wavelength, and frequency · TSWBAT relate light waves to everyday life

C. Student Materials: Notebook, Pen/Pencil, Text Book Teacher Materials: Whiteboard, dry erase markers, Text book, Radio, cell phone

D – F. § Let the students settle down and get their attention (2-3min). § Open a discussion about what light is to the students (2-3min). § Read the textbook with the class about how light behaves as a wave (5min). § Draw on the whiteboard what a wave looks like and label each part (amplitude, wavelength, crest, trough, frequency) (5min). § Do practice problems that lead to the conclusion that wavelength and frequency are indirectly related (5min). § Introduce the speed of light and how scientists discovered that number which will lead to the equation v(speed) = f(frequency) x λ(wavelength). Then do some practice problems using this equation (10min). § Show the students the electromagnetic spectrum on the overhead and talk about the different waves using your cell phone and the radio use different wave frequencies to call specific people and tune to a specific radio station. Discuss how the visible spectrum is the only waves humans can see and that yellow and green are the most vivid colors in the human eye etc. (16min).

G. Assessment: practice problems and discussion Discussion Questions: What is light to you? What are the different parts of the wave? What does amplitude mean? Frequency? What is the speed of light? What is the most harmful wave? What wave has the largest wavelength? When wavelength increases what happens to frequency? What color in the visible spectrum has the highest frequency?

H. Study for homework

I. If the period runs too long you can talk about the electromagnetic spectrum the next day. If the overhead doesn’t work you can find internet images of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Lab Activity 2
[] This web address is a pdf file that is very similar to my verbal lab I conducted during my student teaching. I did not have a physical lab write up but this is exactly the same idea that I put across. It went along with my Light as a wave and particle lessons and was a fun lab in order to figure out what reflection really is and how to use it. Click on the link and check it out!
